"A + oxygen → energy" is the best choice.
Explanation: Combustion is an oxidation reaction in which a fuel reacts with oxygen and releases energy (typically forming CO2 and H2O for hydrocarbon fuels). The other options are decomposition (AB → A + B), synthesis (A + B → AB), or backwards (fuel + energy → oxygen).
